A one act is simply defined as a short one act play. If you’ve ever attended one acts at Central, you’d know that they are very fun to watch and usually comedic.

The fall one acts are approaching, which means auditions have taken place. This year’s auditions took place on Tuesday, October 31st.

Sophomore Gracie Schroeder is just one of the many thespians that are excited to be participating in one acts.

“My favorite part about one acts is that it’s open to everyone. You get a chance to meet and work with people, maybe someone you don’t know. The environment is very friendly, and everyone is so incredibly encouraging. Even just thinking about one acts brings a smile to my face because it is so much fun.”

Schroeder can’t choose between performing in one acts and a real show because, “Asking me to chose between regular shows and one acts is like asking me to choose between two of my favorite ice cream flavors. Each are so incredibly different, yet amazing.”

The titles of the one acts this year are “The NSA Guide,” “Oz,” and “Hard Candy.” The directors are Kaleb Wood, Ryan Ayres, and Will Hayes. The stage managers are Carly Redding, Ali Allen, and Jeff Hemstock.

“It is hectic, however, between the one acts and the musical because the auditions are only a few days apart.” If you are planning on auditioning for both, this can become stressful because this requires being ready for two auditions.

To get into a one act, you go to one audition and the senior directors will pick you for the one that they think you will perform best in. Since there are three one acts, most people will be given a part. All of the one acts take place in the same night because they are all fairly short.

One acts will take place during the last week of November on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the auditorium. If you want to have a good laugh and see your fellow peers perform, make sure you try to attend.
